CAUTION
The Toyota park assist system is
intended as an aid to assist you to
park and is not a substitute for
your personal judgment. Make your
driving decisions based on your ob-
servations.
Do not attach accessories or other
objects to the vehicle within the
sensor perceptible area. Doing so
may cause the system to malfunc-
tion, which might result in an acci-
dent.
In certain situations, the system
will not function properly and when
the vehicle approaches certain ob-
jects, the system will not detect
those objects. Therefore, always ob-
serve the area around the vehicle
and do not rely solely on the sys-
tem.
For vehicles sold in Canada
This ISM device compiles with
Canadian ICES 001.
In the following cases, the system may
not work properly.
When ice, snow, mud or other objects
build up on the sensor.
When the vehicle is parked in extreme-
ly high or extremely low temperature
for a long period.
When driving on bumpy or graveled
roads or on grass
When a device such as a horn from
another vehicle, motorcycle engine, or
an air brake sound from a heavy −duty
vehicle, issues ultrasonic waves, near
your vehicle
When attaching a two −way radio anten-
na
When rain or water splashes on the
sensor.
When operating the vehicle on an in-
clined surface
When a radio antenna or fender pole
is mounted on your vehicle.
When a towing hitch is mounted on
your vehicle.
